QUALIDADE DE VIDA, ARQUITECTURA e TURISMO – Conference

Conference “QUALITY OF LIFE, ARCHITECTURE AND TOURISM” organized by Ordem dos Arquitectos in Lagos, 20 de March 2015. Participation with a presentation entitled: “Construção Dispersa – Mito ou realidade?” /”Sparse Construction – Myth or Reality?” Abstract: Scattered construction is understood, in the current legislative framework, as the promoter of fragmentation of the landscape, compromising the stability and functions of the territory. In the Algarve, land-use planning instruments transposed this concept to local municipalities masterplan/ P.D.M.’s in order to reduce urbanizable areas and to contain them in urban perimeters. Sparse construction is forbidden. At the extreme opposite the architecture that is admired and celebrated by architects attributes singularity to the isolated architectural object in the landscape. Drawing on examples, either contemporary or key references of the history of architecture, this presentation intends to demonstrate how construction in the rural landscape and residential tourism can complement and value it without compromising the urban infrastructure.
